Hoi, I blogged about it. My argument is that Wikipedia should not be fenced in by assumptions from Wikidata.
Your blog post seemsw to assume that the wikidata label will be displayed on wikipedia. That's not the case. We are discussing the use of localized property names (let's just stop calling them labels, it's misleading) for properties in the {{#property}} parser function, in order to retrieve the value. Only the value. So, is an ID better than a localized unique name? Both will only be visible in wikitext, and, in practice, only in wikitext in templates.
Your blog post states that labels cannot be changed once they are set. This is wrong. The can be changed. Currently, that will however break all wikitext (templates) that use that name to refer to the property. This is what we are trying to fix by allowing properties to be accessed by an alias. The downside is that this requires aliases to be unique.
I'm not sure how the number of languages is relevant at all. The name(s) of a property have to be unique per language. How many languages there are doesn't matter at all for this, since there can not be conflicts between languages.
In any case, *non* of this is at all visible to readers.
